In this, the ineffective nature of capitalist resource distribution sees it natural course run. The continued profitability of low risk, high profit mortgage backed products is supported through both the reduction in supply and the granting of few, low risk high value, profitable mortgages.

Well after the months of European Referendum campaign I remain a support of the European Union and believe that ongoing membership, is in the best interests of the UK. It is with great disappointment that the progressive, pro-european, pro further integration case has not been made effectively as a remain vote built on this case would have offered the mandate to create a better Europe.
